Instagram Challenge: JEWELRY

We had so much fun launching our very first jewelry lookbook that we decided to celebrate a bit with the next Instagram Challenge theme being JEWELRY. Let us take a peek inside your jewelry box by taking Insta snapshots of your beloved charms. We want to see your style and personality, from big chunky statement necklaces to classic engagement rings. Below are a mix of pins found on Pinterest that I personally love and photos taken from our winter jewelry lookbook bloggers. Use these shots as inspiration and don’t forget to hashtag #UGInstaFun. In two weeks we’ll choose our favorite photo. And since this theme is jewelry, we decided to double the usual prize to $100 buck-a-roos.

Emily is a contributor to The Goods. She has a serious case of wanderlust that will most likely never be cured. She comforts herself with impromptu trips to thrift shops and speaking broken French to anyone who will listen. She spends her time crafting imaginary witty banter with HONY and stalking him on twitter. Her favorite uncommon good is the Hand of Buddha Jewelry Stand.
